WANTED - Documentation and Photos for Sherman VC "Firefly"

I looking for any documentation and photos relating to the Sherman VC "Firefly" - Sherman IC also.

This to aid with the restoration of a vehicle which records indicate ended service with 21st Canadian Armoured Regt in June 1945.

Happy to consider original material or scans/photocopies.

Very keen to obtain WW2 vintage interior pictures and anything giving clear unit and recognition markings.

Also, documentation wise, anything, though especially anything which may have been published by the Canadian army, rather than the British army.

Restoration blog here - though at present we are only just starting out and presently have just started remanufacture of interior tin-work, so there's not so much to see.... www.facebook.com/T289477

Many thanks

Tim

If I was you, I'd post these request on a modelers blog. The guys who build the scale versions of tanks are sticklers for detail and will probably have all the documents you're after.

Looks very much like the guy has lifted all the drawings from my website.
